A World of Gimmicks: SWIMMING WITH THE FISHES

I know what you're gonna say...YES, I know what that phrase means I was just trying to be clever and show that i've been watching the USA Swimming Olympic Trials for the past three days.

Here's 75% of the reason why:

I only kinda want Lochte to win the races they have together because Phelps has won so much already. Good for him and all because he's become such a icon- he's going to his FOURTH olympics this year! That's CRAZY! 16 years of olympics is not an easy feat-- and the most metals of any olympic athlete.

Also look at how pissed he looks...heheheh.

I also really like to see the really young athletes make it on the team because how awesome would it be to make the team when you're still in high school?

Speaking of which, someone on my club team from when I was younger is in the Olympic trails- he already got 11th in the 100 Breaststroke-- which is amazing!

I just watched 17 year old Missy Franklin make the olympic team and a new american record for the 100 Back- that's my race.

I've been feeling nogalistic (so i'm not sure if that word is spelt right, but honestly it's too hard to figure out how to spell it right. I won't go into how hard it's been for me in attempting to figure that out) about swimming since watching these, I loved competing but I HATED practice.

Ya'll swimmers out there know what I mean.

And I'm really so impressed with all the swimmers in the trials- it takes so much energy and training to get to this level- and here we have the top swimmers not only in the country, but in the world. It's so amazing that people can move their bodies in such a way that they move so very fast- but of course we can't touch the speed of the fishes....

Anyways I haven't really even swam for over a year- which means my body is extremely out of shape.
